HANG IN THERE, OMAR KHADR

You've done the worst of it plus a whole lot more. The finish line is in sight, so relax and let it come to you. The U.S. miltary and government are behind you and soon the idiots in the Canadian government will be as well. keep in mind that the Candian federal government have illustrated what we already know. Cowards are bullies when they have all the power. They will run and hide when you are released and they no longer have legal protection for their lies and untruths.

Today's Waterloo Region Record carrys a Record Editorial titled "Let Khadr speak to Canadians". We are advised that former Public Safety Minister Vic Toews intervened and blocked an interview at Milhaven Institution in 2012. The warden at the Edmonton Penetentiary also blocked an interview last July. Finally the warden at Bowden Institution in Alberta denied media access to Khadr. It begs the question: What is the federal government so afraid of? Often in these contoversial cases the answer is simple: the truth.

The Toronto Star, the CBC and White Pines Pictures this week asked a federal court judge to allow reporters to speak directly with Omar Khadr. The Record suggests that the national interest will be best served if the court agrees.
